Site rules

Terms of use

By using venicetaxi.boats you accept these terms. In short: the site informs rather than sells, bookings are made with GetYourGuide, Tiqets or the operator, and our content isn’t to be copied without permission.

Effective from 28 September 2026.

Who runs the site

venicetaxi.boats is an independent editorial guide to Venice water taxis, run by the editorial team of venicetaxi.boats. The owner’s identifying details are given in our privacy policy. For any correspondence: info@venicetaxi.boats.

The site is not run by the Comune di Venezia, a water-taxi consortium or a transport company. See our disclaimer for details.

Acceptance

By browsing the site you accept these terms. If you don’t agree with them, please don’t use it. We may update them when the way the site works changes; the version that applies is the one published on this page, dated at the top.

What the site provides

The site publishes free information on routes, fares, piers and water-transport services, together with links to booking platforms. It requires no registration and has no accounts, comments or forms.

The content is for information only. We prepare it carefully from the Comune’s official tariff, our partners’ data and public sources, but we can’t guarantee that it is always complete, current or error-free. Prices, timetables and conditions can change without notice.

Bookings and third parties

The site sells no services and takes no payments. Booking buttons and widgets lead to GetYourGuide or Tiqets, often via redirect links such as /go/….

When you book:

  • your contract is with the platform and/or the local operator, not with us;
  • the platform’s terms and conditions, cancellation rules and privacy policy apply;
  • payments, changes, cancellations, refunds and complaints about the service must go to the platform or the operator.

We may earn a commission on bookings made through our links. This doesn’t change the price you pay or the terms that apply to you.

Permitted use

You’re welcome to read the site, print its pages and share links to it for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not:

  • copy, republish or adapt our text, tables or calculations, in whole or in part, without our written consent;
  • extract content by automated means (scraping) or use it to feed other services or databases;
  • use the site in any way that harms its operation or security;
  • present our content as official or as coming from an operator.

Short quotations with a credit and a link back to the original page are welcome.

Ownership of content

Unless stated otherwise, the text, structure, design and calculations published here belong to the editorial team of venicetaxi.boats. Photographs come from Wikimedia Commons and remain subject to their authors’ licences, listed on our photo credits page. Trademarks and trade names mentioned belong to their rightful owners.

The site links to third-party websites (platforms, operators, public bodies). We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, the editorial team of venicetaxi.boats is not liable for:

  • decisions made on the basis of information on this site without checking current terms with the platform or operator;
  • services provided by third parties, including delays, cancellations, service failures or damage;
  • temporary unavailability of the site or technical errors.

These limitations do not apply in cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence, and they don’t reduce the rights consumers have by law.

Governing law

These terms are governed by Italian law. [OWNER: confirm governing law and competent court] This does not affect a consumer’s right to bring proceedings in the courts of their place of residence, as consumer-protection law provides.
